Answer:

price of pencil is 0.74 and eraser is 0.72$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, "p" represent pencils

and "e" represents erasers.

hence, according to question

13p+10e=16.75 ________(1)

and 25p+2e=19.85________(2)

Multiplying equation (2) by 5,

hence, 125p+10e=99.25________(3)

Substracting equation (3) and (1)

125p+10e-(13p+10e)=99.25-16.75

hence, 112p=82.5

p=0.74

substituting the value in equation (1),

13(0.74)+10e=16.75

9.57+10e=16.75

on solving,

e=0.72

hence, price of one pencil is 0.75$, and price of one eraser is $0.72

Blababa [14]

The dimensions that would result to maximum area will be found as follows:
let the length be x, the width will be 32-x
thus the area will be given by:
P(x)=x(32-x)=32x-x²
At maximum area:
dP'(x)=0
from the expression:
P'(x)=32-2x=0
solving for x
32=2x
x=16 inches
thus the dimensions that will result in maximum are is length=16 inches and width=16 inches

Answer:

The sampling distribution of X, for a sample of size 16, will be approximately normal with mean 2 mm and standard deviation 0.01 mm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
